00:00 - Intro
It's depressing to see stuff one can never afford. Rich kids rubbing their fancy toys in our faces. why even bother telling us about it?
Painting a still needed over this printing but painting would be easier when base is already colored.
Finally "can't print, yellow is empty" is coming to the 3d printing world.
lmao. I was just thinking this!
🤣
But my model's all black, why do I need yellow??
Seriously though, if this was just one solid color plus support, I'd pay good money for this. IF the resin is strong, and not brittle like the cheap resins. I can see this tech getting shrunk in the near future.
@@michami135Stratasys has a resin called draft grey that prints in monotone color with support. There's multiple black resins too if that's what you need.
@@michami135 They have a mono version of the printer, it's about 60% of the cost of the colour one.
Once Epson gets a hold of this technology, the printers will only be $1000, but each media cartridge will require you to take out a second mortgage.
Hahahaha
I was thinking HP and their evil ink cartridges. But ya, same idea. The media cost is going to be horrible
I have photos from my smallinone that have been pinned to a corkboard for over 8 years now and and have not faded unlike the ones printed with a Canon printer.
Epson is worth the price.
@@fursphere2 Or Samsung and the constant need to change consumables, even when they don't need to be changed yet.
@@JMcMillenSamsung printers division been acquired by HP in late 2017.
We've had these in at work for a quote, price? £85K for the full colour and £45K for the mono. I still have the promo booklet they gave us.The results really are something else though, not only multicolour (and truly transparent in the same print) but multi-material (mixing hard resin and soft rubber like material) in one hit, very, very impressive.
So Crazy isn't it! Technology is incredible now!
Thanks for the review and info. Honestly I was expecting the price to be even higher, given the high production and ease of use, which save the pros money over time on par with the sticker price. My first thought is I wonder if some local dental production companies might be willing to rent out some time off-hours so I could possibly get to use the machine, because it looks awesome but I can't even afford a full batch of the resins lol
I worked at an engineering company that got the first laser resin printers back in the late '80s and then we got some FDM printers, it was truly living in the future! although I still did not have my flying car that was promised in the '50s LOL, and then I walked in one day and saw the DIY RepRap FDM printer that one of my colleagues had built, I ordered my kit the same day! I never envisaged having my own 3D printer, they were ridiculously expensive to buy and the consumables were very expensive also.
This technology has been out for a a long time it just not at consumer level 3d printing.
@@FauxHammer i want one! anybody need a kidney?
Cant wait for a decade to pass so we can pick a chinese knock off for $200
a decade? No. 2 years max for a knockoff. A reliable one however....
@@thimiraamaratunga7794 keyword: $200. Id be very surprised if they coupd get a knockoff under 1k in half a decade
Bamboo labs new 3d printing technology!!
And knock-off cartridges that don't cost the price of the entire printer.... When he said that I got worried this was going to copy paper printers in more ways than the print head.
Overpriced cartridges that are just a plastic bottle of resin would be taking the piss
@@thimiraamaratunga7794nah there is a japanese company named Mimaki doing larger and much more impressive full color 3d printers. These can print transparent parts too unlike Stratasys printers
Can't wait to see Elegoo make their own version of this that cost less then $500, man what time to live in. even without color, the fact that you can resin print something and touch it without gloves and such is a big game changer.
Removing the potential chemical hazards for the user is going to be resin's biggest game changer - I would love to have a resin printer at home but my small condo can't safely have the VOCs of industrial resin floating in the air.
The resin is still resin, so you have to take some precautions. But, yeah, amazing how the print is fully cured during printing.
Who remembers custom color 3D prints of your WoW characters from Figure Prints? They were done like an inkjet printer, a colored powder layer at a time. Now we have it in resin. *Sweet.*
I don’t remember them. Wish I did
I remember them, and was damn near to ordering one of my main as a keepsake, but it ended up being prohibitively expensive with shipping and VAT...
zcorp had these first, with HP inkjets in the usual color scheme and a white powder.
@@MagisterMagnificum well time to do it now then
👋🏼former ten-year stratasys employee here. The J55 was a cool redesign of their polyjet platform (took years to figure out the rotating build tray), but sadly the BOM of material jetting systems like the J55 are seriously expensive, and will never drop to a point where consumers could afford it. I have a tonne of things I could say, including the market size/attractiveness of the miniatures market for a system like this, as well as the colour gamut ranges, model stability, pros and cons etc.
But yes it is cool, and these systems are a staple in the prototyping market. I wouldn’t be surprised if GW has one in the model design dept to do quick, colour models for rapid concept designs and colour blocking. Also the colour version of this is between £80-£100k depending on your region.
@@user-pq1eq5cf3x And do you have a professional opinion about the Mimaki or 3dsystem ones ?
@@lilietto1good question. So the 3DS material jetting systems had the upper hand for service bureaus because their support material (material jetted parts are encased in a jelly like material) was washable in water, whereas (until recently) polyjet support required a caustic solution bath to remove support. I’ve worked with both and 3DS was easier, but SSYS modern systems like the J55 has water soluble and it’s just as easy, and non-toxic. Mimaki’s printers were always a side project of the muchhhh larger mimaki 2D printing company. In fact I was told by a source a few years back it was destined to be closed down due to lack of growth. However, because Mimaki is a huge 2D printing company, Mimakis 3D printers had a superior colour gamut with more rich colours than stratayss polyjet (this is from internal ssys research for their flagship colour printers) however the advantage of polyjet over mimaki (aside from knowing stratasys are sure to be around after you invest in their equipment) is you get more dimensionally accurate parts.
Just wait to creality gets a hold of it 😂
@@user-pq1eq5cf3x thank you for your interesting insight !
I just want my resin printer to have supports like this.. that clean-up is amazing.
It is truly an amazing quantum leap forward on so many fronts at once. The support process is as outstanding as the colouring.
Agreed!
Quantum leap? No. This is just a reimplementation of various other 3d printing tech that we already had.
Insane. Guess it's years away from using this at home, but I could see waves of Kickstarters of cool new tabletop and miniature board games with fully painted/printed models in the meantime.
2.5 decades at least, because this thing is patented all-around.
@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov patent US6259962B1 expired in 2019.
Yep. I can see that too. It’s no thereat to painters but a viable option for paint haters
I’m sure similar technology exists
@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov Not really sure that timeline will be correct as the patents can only cover relatively specific methods, so the same concepts should be approachable from other routes. The only question is does anybody or more realistically any group of folks in the creative, chemistry and engineering community have the interest, the time and funding to do the RND to make the same sort of concept work in a sufficiently different way it doesn't infringe the patent. (It could end up being a more consumer consumer goods oriented manufacturer, but they tend to wait for the technologies to be developed to a point before mass producing their RepRap/Prusua clone.
I think everyone can admit that miniatures are the major driving force of making 3d printers better and better
I guess all the practical engineering applications pale in comparison to printing boobies. Come to think of it, I almost agree
not as big as you'd think. honestly it's the medical community. When they realized it wasn't a gimmick and they could actually do stuff with it... the amount of money they've got blows us mini folks OUT OF THE WATER by such a huge margin there's not even a sliver of a comparison.
and for diy peeps
@@vulpinemachine At first because thats all that could afford it. now . My point still stands true. you think they care what colour the prints are?
@@MrOrionpax since aesthetics is a major part of the medical profession, I'd say DEFINITELY. Not in terms of beauty of course, but in terms of having color coded devices ready to go with no need for painting or tagging? Yeah huge demand for that!!
If the surface is nice and smooth, or if they can get it to be in the future, this would be a dream. I don't care about the models being pre-colored, but a miniature with ZERO cleanup? Take. My. Money.
The surface finish is actually very smooth; this is especially apparent on non-colored models. The exact texture depends on whether or not the model is printed with a glossy or matte finish. What may appear in the video as a rough surface is just the resolution of the print head on particularly small models.
@@jonathansilberberg8933 i'd like to see more prints of small detailed stuff. the coloured stuff looks kinda rough and i wouldn't use it as "a painted miniature".
I wonder how locked the technology is, and if we'll have to wait 20 years like previously to get it in the consumer market at consumer prices and not at 50k per machine
Everyone start selling off your family heirlooms 😆
Most would get a Mortgage before one of these!
Fixed it for you. Everyone start selling off your family -heirlooms- 🤣😆
@@Desmo904 🤣🤣 I would certainly have more to spend on printers if it were not for the family of 7😂
@@FauxHammer I went to their site to see how much they were and started wondering how many people were chatting them during your video and asking what the true price was😂 i’m sure they got an influx of inquiries during your premier.
Yes or just wait 10-20 years and they will be available as cheap as regular 3D printers now, and probably of better quality too.
Really looking forward to the day when home 3D printing has this easy of a time cleaning up prints. Thanks for sharing such cool tech!
Same
We had one of the early monochrome versions of this tech, at my work. The support material used a water wash station with a pressurized nozzle to strip it off. It was pretty cool tech back then (2010ish), and made super his detail models. They were also quite strong, and could make quite sharp edges.
The resin was expensive, and date coded so that the printer would not accept it past its use-by date.
The printer maintenance was a pain, the resin (ink) jet print head was the hardest part to get clean.
We also had a color printer that used the gypsum/color inkjet technique. Those models were quite fragile, even when ‘hardened’ by soaking the model in super glue. Most of the sandy looking prints described by other commenters could be explained by this tech.
Nice review, and cool printer!
All the meta chasers going to love this. An entire ready made army please, whatever is hot this week!
Yep!
It’s not very cost effective and it’s patented so while it’s cool, I don’t see it taking off anytime soon.
@@HenrySavinon Many of the core patents are already done. I am hoping we will see this take off in the home/prosumer space in the next year or two. It will not be a slick as the 100k printers but neither were the first FDM or resin printers for home and look what we have now.
@@HenrySavinon It's not like 3D printing bros have ever cared about respecting intellectual property.
really cool tech... the clean up process is what all 3d printers need to be.
great vid fauxhammer!
Thanks 👍
There was a place at the mall last year that sold 3D printed figures based on head scans and I think it used this tech, as the prints were color and had a similar look.
It's definitely cool to see and there's value for commercial applications, but the prints don't look amazing, they still have a blurry, chalky appearance, and certainly aren't any competition for a nicely hand painted piece. And I think a world where this becomes accessible and high quality at home is probably quite a long way away.
Oh I’d love to know what that was
Amazing Tech! Thanks for sharing!! (And I love the stock footage!)
Just imagine, in 10 years we might be able to do this at home. I almost can't wait for that.
20 years apparently they own the patent for that long.
Well. Assuming nobody comes up with “similar” tech
I guess not then they would probably be sued AF by Stratasys@@FauxHammer
I imagine this could create a whole new medium of miniature painting; doing your "painting" digitally in Blender or some other 3D tool and then printing the colored mini.
Yeah agreed!
Even a “paint by numbers” type deal to market toward new hobbyists to get into painting would be cool. Just washed out colors and a guide to follow along too would be really fun and make it easier to bring new people into the hobby.
Thanks for doing this video. Love to see the progress on this tech!
You and me both!
Extremely cool stuff… Hope to see this tech come down to the hobby level in a few years.
20 years is the time period for a patent to expire, but it did eventualy happen with resin and FDM printing!
Agreed
Omg I'd love that. I mean... we could try to do a community opensource project doing something similar I bet, just have to be different enough to not infringe the patent. Honestly if they dont come to the hobby side and they decide to sit on their patent until expiration I will be really disappointed in them. 3d printing could have come out so much sooner and makers been a thing much earlier if it werent for stupid patent shenanigans.
@NeoIsrafil Stratasys are one of the major reasons that fdm and resin were stalled for home users for decades. I'm totally open to the possibility of them having a change of heart, but don't bet money on it.
I think if they can make a smaller home version it might be really cool, my issue with resin printing is the curing, cleaning and disposal of leftover resin, this seems to skip a whole lot of that, sure there will still be stuff to dispose of but i imagine this basically collects it all and you just get rid of the waste container, no having to deal with waste from a washing station by hand etc, also seems like it solves the ventilation issue
So a smaller home version of this, even if it were mono colour would be amazing
Maybe it could be simplified down to enough bays to accommodate RGB, black, and a support material in a "home" version of it.
Very interesting, love the Idea of the water dissolvable support.
This reminds me way back when the office equipment company who I used to work for, got the first full colour inject printer, think it was the oliveti 8000C .
Back than if you wanted any colour, you was stuck with a dot matrix printer with a 3 colour ribbon.
Now we have full colour laser printers.
Would be great to see this technology scaled down for domestic use , even just one colour with that support material would be a great step forward.
It’ll come I’m sure, with more materials too!
This is seriously kickass! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like it!
What blows me away is not only is it able to do so many colors and with such high quality, but can do so with very little waste. Outstanding!
This tech has been around for a few years, it's super cool. The surface quality isn't as good as resin though, it has kind of a sandy, grainly look to it, like it's made out of sugar.
it's been more than a few years, more like 25 years.
I remember a company called Sandboxr (now defunct, closed in like 2016) used this kind of system for custom prints of characters from certain games. They were pricey (I think I paid like $90 for a 6” figure), but they looked appealing and colorwise were good. They had a clearcoat they would put over them to help darken the colors slightly and make it less grainy to touch.
The grain is due to us putting too much matte primer on as I was rushing to make my train
There are some new post processing systems offered for sale with the machines that can enhance the more natural look.
Nice, what would these be? I think they've released a sandblaster, but is there anything else @@crafthappylife
Many thanks :)
I think it looks great. But I think the surface looks odd. Almost like it's out of focus. I still think hand painted minis are far superior. But it has a great potential for people that may not have the steadyest of hands.
I agree...
It looks pixelated. Not smooth or polished for a final product, but good enough for a base/primer coat to be painted.
Honestly, this is a good thing. I don't see this replacing hand painting, but for a lot of people buying a good paint job from someone then printing your ready to play army and having it arrive completely ready to go will be a good offering.
This is a leap in 3D printing tech that I hadn't expected for at least a decade. Absolutely, amazing. The reveal of how the support material is removed was also mind blowing. This is super exciting!
I doubt we will ever see an affordable home version BUT- this is still very cool and is indeed mind blowing - good video!
I hope you do! And thanks!!!
We have 2 J850s and run the daylights out of them. Major game changer. No more hand deco.
Oh wow. Yeah I think I’m I already made my super impressedness clear
Wow. Its amazing how far resin printing has come and for us to be able to experience these changes / evolution. One day people will look back and say this is obsolete tech, but today... just wow.
Well said!
This is amazing. Very cool tech, and no support marks!! This machine does all the parts about resin printing, and painting I don’t like. I hope this tech comes down the line in the future. Great video, and thanks for sharing!!
Now you have blown my f’ing mind !!!
I did not mean…
To blow your mind…
In the style of Tenacious D
Great video dude, I think you missed something though:
Pre-Basecoated Pre-Built minis.
There's entire countries adapting gundams etc, enhancing pre painted figures, it already exists, and is a loved hobby.
Are we there? Wash and highlight and good to go in 1/3 of the time.
Interested on people's thoughts!
Oh, that’s a fantastic point!!!! Yeah. I think people would love that… agreed though. Would love to hear more people’s thoughts on this?
I guess you'd need a resin that doesn't need to be primed?
this is so cool. i am painting my old world army for 4 months now, and i am nearly at hobby burnout. getting a fully painted army, ready to play at my doorstep...if its not much more expensive then a specific miniature company we all love and hate, yeah..i would get some armys
Well they have a 100mm model for less than £20
Very cool Ross! This tech is amazing. Thanks for showing it off to us.
Glad you liked it!
My wife has had one of these at her workplace (industry leading professional 3D printing service) for close to a year now i believe. She brought home a sample print last summer to show me (I'm also into 3D printing... at home/amateur level). EDIT: I stand corrected. I showed her this printer and she had to laugh. "That's the small one" she said. They have the J850 from Stratasys.
This sounds absolutely wild 😅
Haha true
It is
Thanks is looking very nice and interesting!
Thank you for the clear, pure English that you can understand every word!
The advancement that printer represents is amazing. Love seeing this stuff!
Yeh if a website doesnt list a price alot of people cant wont have this printers irs probly super expensive.
What I could find online is retails for 99,000 dollars. I am waiting for this this tech to get to the sub 2k point.
@@hargert patents will run out in around 25 years so...
@@Zuluknob You are incorrect on the patents and when they will run out. This tech has been around for many years now it was just in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of the key patents are already expired.
Yeah, don't worry, the video about the prints more than the printer!
What's the source on that price?
This only makes the hobby that much better. Where I might not ever use it to replace hand painted miniatures, I would absolutely use this for Terrain and Bases.
O_O holy poop! this is... amazing tech progress! Even if you want to paint things, printed mono and ready to paint... or colour versions and paint over it... no support lines and no mould lines... this is progress!
Bro no offense but your whole channel is just a commercial were choosing to watch. I wouldnt worry to much lol
Yeah, but I have my "i won't be bought" rep to protect! becasue I will not be bought!
for a person how loves panting/textuering digitally having to take one of my 3d models and just print it full color is super cool cant wait till services become more common for this
Fantastic!
What a trove, many thanx 👍👍
Amazing machine! And while I am not into colour printing, the wax "support" method is stunning.
Really impressive results. This creates an excellent base paint coat which can speed up really high detail painting jobs... or for a lot of people... just print off the mini colored and dip it in quick shade, and you have probably fairly acceptable table quality models pretty easily.
The support and print technology is amazing.
I could imagine having a consumer mono color version of these in 10 years.
StrataSys is no joke. All of the printers are amazing and workhorses. I only wish I could afford one lol.
Same
Just don’t get one of their FDM printers 🙄
This is the future of resin printing. I'm so excited to see where it goes
I love this video and the 3D printer. This will revolutionize miniatures and other detailed small items that look best with some color. All that’s needed is a complete 3D scanning system that also records color and reflectivity data.
I want one of these now that I know about it. I been resin printing for a couple of years. When I been out of resin, I got in the habit of playing with slicing and simple 3D modelling apps, learning supports, basic kitbashes etc. Then I discovered the paint feature in MS 3D builder. So I started painting a lot of my Battletech mech files in it. The way Windows displays the resulting Thumbnail makes visual reference easy when searching through large folders.
But basically, I've already got armies of mechs painted and ready to print
been using the stratasus J750 at work for the last couple years amazing printer very good work horse for our visual demos
Hi Ross. It was good to meet and talk to you at Games Expo this morning. Thanks for the minis; I can’t wait to paint my RossMarine. Charles.
Cool. Another step towards Replicators.
The idea of buying a mini "painted" by a Golden Demon Artist is very interesting.
My only question is if you wanted to add paint in certain areas would you have to prime it? would a varnish work?
Wow, that's super exciting! Completely out of reach for hobbyists (for now at least), but at least the technology is there, NOW! I was just talking to family today about 3D printing and I (erroneously, as it turns out) stated that full colour prints were a fantasy at this stage, lol
Amazing, just amazing!
Yea I really need this to come down to the hobby level. I’m a horrible painter and having all my models painted out of the printer would make my life soo easy.
Well. You can get painted models from it already.
@@FauxHammeryea but I’d less exciting when it’s not from my own printers. lol
Wow! Awesome tech!
Glad to hear you'll be at Gen Con - I'll try to make sure to stop by and say hi!
You best do!! I’ll be at the AO booth doing demos and giving out mini me’s
That is Horribly AMAZING. 😁
Lol
I need the support technology in every 3D printer! That is amazing!!!
Damn that’s freaking AWESOME!!!
The printer itself and how it works is revolutionary. I don't think it will hurt artists you can start a small business with one of these printers selling your Miniatures and copies of your work through a online store I'm sure the cost of it is ridiculous 30 grand or more but that wouldn't stop someone from starting a business. The number of pre colored models you could design and prototype Parts you can make it's got infinite possibilities it drives me crazy that I myself thought of a process similar to this using an inkjet printing head several years ago but I don't have the technical ability to do anything like this I thought it was a pipe dream and to see someone actually do it very similar to the way I described it blows my mind
Well, that is absolutely a must for something like toys or printing minis for tabletop games at masse.
And most importantly, it's robust and you won't strip or scratch the paint.
Quite a nice step up, really.
Bloody exciting this! Even if the prices never come down enough to make the tech viable for home printing, it's still cool that we can already order full colour prints from companies that have the funds to invest in these printers. That support system too 🤯
Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate how pleasing the stratasys logo is, particularly the angle on the top of the t
This is absolutely amazing and is indeed a giant leap forward for this type of printing. I cannot wait to see the trickle down of these technologies becoming more of the standard for home users!
Fingers crossed!
Most excited about the support materials - that is a dream
I'll still be paining my minatures for now.
I can’t wait for this to come to the home market. ❤
I tried to get my boss to buy one, £40000 he said no😭 this is a game changer with no supports needed, so printing complicated parts is amazing, and full colours also you can mix different properties, so yo can have a part that is ridged then goes flexible.
This is The Way 😈💯
Oh, ummm, These are £90k
Thats so amazing I had to check if the video was published on April the 1st...
This is absolutely fantastic.
That is amazing and can’t wait till we get them in the home.

jeez...i KNEW this was coming. but i expected it would be around in 10-15 years
its here already...3d printing is moving FAST.
exciting!
Even ignoring the ability to colour the prints, this has some really interesting ideas.
The ability to eliminate supports alone is great, but I imagine the printing process leaves less room for errors as it cleans and cures each layer as it prints.
Even if this was a single color it would still be a game changer. No more need for supports or cleaning and sanding.
Agreed
the baby steps from printing press to printer to 3d printer to Fabrication lab to star trek replicator..we learn to walk so eventually we will run.
cool vid.
I’m after that replicator. But expect we’ll get the red dwarf kind first
Amazing technology! It'll be a while before they're more accessible to more people, but I'm super interested in seeing the support material adopted in more consumer resin printers. I'm one of the people who haven't dived into resin printing because of the cleaning and curing, so this could be an absolute game changer. 👍
Totally agree!
That color 3d printer looks like a beer fridge for tech bros. 😂 Also flabbergasted by the advances in technology! This is really cool!
Do you need to varnish the minis or is the layer depth enough that they can handle being picked up by the handful?
It's insane where the technology has gone in only a few years, absolutely amazing!
This is amazing tech, really. Even ignoring the color tech, I would love for this tech to get into a consumer device.
This is truly amazing
This is absolutely nuts!
This is amazing, I’m hoping this tech will filter down to the hobby printers soon
You and me both brother!
This technology is terribl..ly exciting and I can't wait till this tech comes to home printers.
This is such an interesting technology. Especially with the improved safety of printing material. It does look like it has some "fuzz" to it, but it's still amazing to see how far printing has come.
How are they dealing with the model warping as the resin continues to cure? I've ran into this issue when printing minis that have long flat surfaces like airplane wings or rotor blades. If I don't primer the model soon after printing it starts to warp. If it is printed in color then there isn't anything blocking UV light from continuing to cure the resin.
Just learned about Mimaki printers 10 minutes ago. I didn't know there were more out there! My creative juices be flowing!!!
lol, you watched Joel’s video didn’t you
lol technology is so friggin' cool!
I had a Hero Forge model snap at the ankles and the inner core reminded me of one of those candy bars with the white filling.
I think the support method is really interesting, and the lack of any support markings is really nice. The color option is cool, but even the one in the video has a fuzzy look, like it's out of focus. I think it's good for a quick, easy army, but i don't know think it's going to replace hand painted models. I mean, anyone can push buttons and gwt a machine to spit out a model. The ones who paint it by hand just have such incredible skills that no machine is going to be more impressive than someone who can do the job by hand
I worked with stratasys in the late 90's. I still have one of their first 3D prints (a hose nozzle)
I have been working in this field during my masters thesis and been wondering how long it would take for this technology to get on the market. Glad its here now 😁
Incredible isn’t it. And this is the start!
Wow, so cool!
